6.4 Trim, Bumpers, and Body

To prevent corrosion, the fenders, hood, and trunk lid are assembled with zinc plates which act as anodes, and a sealing tape between mating surfaces to prevent moisture from becoming trapped. See Fig. 6-8. The plates are part no. AKL 381 035 50, and the tape is part no. D 001 900.

NOTE -

The plates and tape are installed as part of the corrosion warranty. If in doubt about warranty protection, consult an authorized Volkswagen dealer.
